Eric Biggers d3cff4a95e KEYS: remove support for asym_tpm keys
asym_tpm keys are tied to TPM v1.2, which uses outdated crypto and has
been deprecated in favor of TPM v2.0 for over 7 years.  A very quick
look at this code also immediately found some memory safety bugs
(https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220113235440.90439-2-ebiggers@kernel.org).
Note that this code is reachable by unprivileged users.

According to Jarkko (one of the keyrings subsystem maintainers), this
code has no practical use cases, and he isn't willing to maintain it
(https://lore.kernel.org/r/YfFZPbKkgYJGWu1Q@iki.fi).

Therefore, let's remove it.

Note that this feature didn't have any documentation or tests, so we
don't need to worry about removing those.

bool "Asymmetric (public-key cryptographic) key type"

help
This option provides support for a key type that holds the data for
the asymmetric keys used for public key cryptographic operations such
as encryption, decryption, signature generation and signature
verification.

help
This option provides support for asymmetric public key type handling.
If signature generation and/or verification are to be used,
appropriate hash algorithms (such as SHA-1) must be available.
ENOPKG will be reported if the requisite algorithm is unavailable.

This option provides support for parsing X.509 format blobs for key
data and provides the ability to instantiate a crypto key from a
public key packet found inside the certificate.

This option provides support for parsing PKCS#8 format blobs for

from that data.

This option provides support for parsing PKCS#7 format messages for
signature data and provides the ability to verify the signature.
config PKCS7_TEST_KEY
tristate "PKCS#7 testing key type"
depends on SYSTEM_DATA_VERIFICATION
help
This option provides a type of key that can be loaded up from a
PKCS#7 message - provided the message is signed by a trusted key. If
it is, the PKCS#7 wrapper is discarded and reading the key returns
just the payload. If it isn't, adding the key will fail with an
error.
This is intended for testing the PKCS#7 parser.
